Also, there are some plot holes that make no sense but most gamers do not care about those when focusing on leveling....

The online ecosystem is constantly evolving. I mean we came from an era where 8 kilobytes a gigantic amount of storage and now we can hold terabytes in between two fingers.

Once we stepped into the world of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, or MMORPG’s, that was it....

Those who grew up with the NES will doubtlessly remember sinking an uncountable amount of hours into the same one or two titles. Games were expensive back in the day; at fifty dollars a pop, most parents weren’t interested in regularly shelling out that kind of money on what was often considered to be a mere child’s toy. The only recourse was to rent games from a video store, and most could only stare in glassy-eyed wonder at the incredible volume of games on the shelf and wish desperately that they could take them all home....

During their quarterly conference call yesterday, Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg made mention of several upcoming titles, including one that would focus on a certain 007. That certain 007 — Bond, James Bond — has had his fair share of woes in the last year, with the latests installments being the Goldeneye remake on the Wii and Blood Stone, the last game that developer Bizarre Creations would create with Activision....
